Ivan Mihalyfi

I was born under the sign of Leo at Siófok city (Hungary) on the 15th of August in 1972. My mother Zsuzsanna Mercz is a textile designer, my father Iván Mihályfi Sr. is a graphic designer. Due to my inherited skills, I doodled a lot, but I started to take drawing truly seriously from 1984.I got the school graduation report at the Graphic Department of Secondary School of Fine and Applied Arts in the summer of 1991, then I received my degree at the Graphic Design Department of Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts in September of 1996.I joined to the team of Pointer Advertising Studio after one year freelancing in 1997. I spent two years there, then I founded a public relations company which name is Open Communications arm-in-arm with Ágnes Szoke in 1999. I’ve been working there since then as an art director or/and graphic designer.You can find the strait cross-section of my works from 1988-2005 period while you browse the galleries at www.mihalyfi.hu
